    This is my favorite portable keyboard: https://www.logitech.com/en-us/shop/p/keys-to-go2-universal....

    Unless they have a way to lock open, foldable keyboards will always subtly bend which is annoying enough for me to ditch the folding part entirely.

    I wish they also included the trackpad beneath it. I basically want a laptop base without the screen.

    I wonder if the keyboard covers for the Microsoft Surface tablets could somehow be repurposed.

    You can just unmount the display and have a base. I used such setup for 6 months as a teenager plugging it everywhere I go.

    There are various products like https://inateck.com/collections/tablet-keyboard/products/blu....

    There’s also https://www.esrgear.com/products/ipad-air-13-2024-ascend-key... which I think are standard Bluetooth as well.

    That’s a great place to look because they sell this: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d/surface-pro-flex-keyboard/...

    Tempting!

    they arent that nice, compared to what im currently using (epo64: https://a.co/d/gRQnvjE apparently on sale atm)

    that said, my surface pro 3's keyboard is quite old now, so maybe the new ones are nicer

    They more-or-less improved the keyboard immediately after the SP3. The SP4 is a night-and-day difference to the SP3 (to the point where I was considering getting a SP4 keyboard for my SP3 when I still had it), and they've gotten better since.

    There are people who have bought MBPs with broken screens and deleted the screen to use them with the Vision Pro. Works quite well!

    I have the non-cover version of this (or at least, it's another Logitech keyboard with a very similar design but lacks a cover - the K380s), and I also have a Keychron B1 Pro and a TKL mechanical keyboard, but my cheapo K380s still feels better to use to me.

    Over a decade ago microsoft actually sold a Bluetooth adapter for the surface keyboard

    IMHO the best option would be a LingLong Lunar. But they are pricey right now.
